Dan Achber

Achber, whose father is South African, spent a few years managing safari lodges in Botswana and Zimbabwe. His experience in the bush—and the fact that he’s personally vetted nearly 100 safari camps—means he knows the difference between a good camp and a great one.

Special Booking: Achber recommends a helicopter ride from central Kenya up to the southern shore of Lake Turkana. Travelers flying over the country’s rugged landscape in an open cockpit will see Grevy’s zebras running through open plains, lakes teeming with flamingos, and a massive volcanic crater, all from a bird’s-eye perspective.
